Money is now abundant for speculation

Moneyis now abundant for speculation
in railways and lands, but the supply
must gradually diminish under the pres
ent prodigality. When the pinch and
cramp come, as they most assuredly will,
then look out for the crash. The vast
real estate speculations of 1886 were the
cause of the smashup of 1887. Like
wise the breakdown of 1857 was caused
by the wild real estate speculation Of
1855 and 1856. In many cities and many
sections the brake should be put on al
once.

The bromide paper, which was first
shown AT the Chicago convention of the
photographers Of the nited States in
1895, is still merely an experiment, but it
has greatly hurt the Eusine of crayon
artists whose specially was portrait
making. This injury has heen done not
by the superiority Of the bromide process
over free hand drawing but by the cheap
ness Of these bromide pictures, and cheap
ness seems to be the one quality that
recommends bromide portraits to the
general public People know SO little
about cost, or what constitutes a good
picture, that they can gauge their ap-
probation simply by the price. Bromide
portraits are made the same as ordinary
Photographic negatives. The paper is
coated with gelatine and the impression
is obtained by sunlight or electric light
by throwing up the picture from q mega
tive.
say the process is still an experiment,
because Il is not known how long these
pictures will last Those exhibited at
Chicago are already fading, and do not
believe any OF them will hold their color
for two years same establishments have
trick Of filing them ont with crayon,
but this does not better the quality. The
gelatine is liable to be scratched and the
picture ruined. Then again, they put the
cheapest kind Of talent on them. hear
that one place here in st Louis, where SO
and {. are paid for these pictures, the
proprietor gives young girls twenty five
cents apiece for finishing them IN crsyon.
Does anybody believe that such picture
can be any good!

A firm on John street showed me the
most brilliant and beautiful diamonds |
have seen in long time. They were
once the property Of that famous Isabella,
queen Of Spain. They are called the violet
diamonds. In the store they looked the
steely blue white that fine diamonds
ought To be, but taken to the door they
were really distinct violet They are
unset a; present, but used TO be a pair Of
ear drops. In the exhibition WAS a watch
of ancient make, which has movable
tablesu upon ii. Cupid is sharpening his
arrows at the forge of Vulcan, while
Nenus and other NEUROLOGICAL celebrities
look on When the watch is wound the
god at the bellows begins 10 pump, Vul-
eau at the anvil strikes it, tiny chain
that looks like running water runs over u
wheel to initiate a cascade, while Venus
mans her arm and Cupid brandishes bow
The workmanship is extremely fine and
the little watch is very valuable. Among
the articles formerly belonging TO Isabella
is collection Of different colored dia-
monds. There are black, amber colored,
pink, sanguinary red ones almost like
rubies, gray ones and the famous violet
pair. The old lady had q great fancy for
jewelry As many as a dozen sets OF diff
ferent settings are in the hands of this
firm for Sale-Clara Bellies Letter.
